Discuss different media sources with others, and help each other distinguish between accurate news and things like sponsored articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Sponsored content has become more prolific in recent years as <a href=\"https:\/\/getfluence.com\/blog\/2021\/09\/14\/what-exactly-is-a-sponsored-article\/#:~:text=Sponsored%20articles%20are%20a%20type,of%20brand%20promotion%20or%20campaign.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">advertisers seek new ways to reach customers<\/a>. However, they can also be very difficult to spot, as research suggests that <a href=\"https:\/\/edu.gcfglobal.org\/en\/thenow\/what-is-sponsored-content\/1\/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">70-80% of students can\u2019t distinguish between a sponsored article and an impartial one<\/a>. To identify sponsored content, look for notices such as \u201cPaid for by\u2026\u201d or \u201cContent from\u2026\u201d that indicate an outside company has paid to make the content.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Analyze Your Sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Analyze your sources<\/strong> to ensure their authors aren&#8217;t making assumptions but rather are using reliable data to back up their claims. For example, if a source makes a claim like \u201cStudies show that people pay more attention to ads that use large fonts,\u201d look at the studies they\u2019re citing and make sure the data in those studies actually support the claim they\u2019re making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Be aware of <a href=\"https:\/\/crk.umn.edu\/library\/primary-secondary-and-tertiary-sources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources<\/a> to assess the originality of the information in a given source. Primary sources are the most original and show evidence as it was first recorded without commentary. Primary sources include interviews, original artwork, and research-based scholarly articles. Secondary sources present information from primary sources along with analyses or interpretations of that information and can include critical reviews, biographies, and legislative reviews. Tertiary sources organize or repackage other sources and can include dictionaries, textbooks, and encyclopedias.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Assess Your Source&#8217;s Authority<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Assess the authority of your source<\/strong>. Is this source an expert on the subject? Is it from a reputable media outlet? Does it explain where it got its information?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/working-with-sources\/credible-sources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/working-with-sources\/credible-sources\/\">To determine whether a source has authority<\/a>, consider both the source itself and the purpose you\u2019re using it for. For secondary sources, look for sources that are up-to-date and clearly cite their sources. Academic journals are often good sources because they\u2019re peer-reviewed, meaning a group of other people with expertise on the subject have reviewed the article and decided it\u2019s appropriate for publication in the journal. Assessing websites can be trickier since anyone can publish information on a website. Look for an \u201cAbout\u201d section for the author or publisher. A website blog or social media post may be useful if you\u2019re analyzing the public perception of something, but make sure you still know where the information is coming from.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you know when an article you&#8217;re reading is sponsored by a biased advertiser?
